Use of language Gathering information about women's problems regarding teenage pregnancy by having strong communication is the main source of the data of this paper.
Behavior cycle Most of these teenage moms happened to have childhood traumas as well they lacked sexual education.
The order in which events unfold It is very relevant and timely that the teenage pregnancy rate in the Philippines is increasing. Because of this, the auto decided to write a field report regarding with what are the factors affecting the rise of the issue.
Physical characteristics of subjects These are women aged 15-19 who at this early age already experienced pregnancy.
Expressive body movements The analysis of the data coming from the office of DOH and WHO is considered to be the main focal point of the data analysis, conclusion, and recommendations of this report.
Field Report
Introduction
Teenage pregnancy in the Philippines, as defined by the proportion of women who have begun childbearing in their teen years, has been steadily rising during a 35-year period, according to data from the National Demographic and Health Survey and the most recent result of the 2011 Family Health Survey. These teen mothers are mostly poor, live in rural areas, and have a low level of education. However, this study finds an increasing proportion of teenagers who are not poor, have a better education, live in metropolitan areas, and have started having children in their teens. The younger age at menarche, premarital sexual activity at a young age, the rise in cohabiting unions in this age group, and the likely lessening in the stigma of out-of-wedlock pregnancy are all variables that could contribute to this trend.
Description of activities
The reproductive rates of women of various ages follow a consistent trend. The fertility rate begins to fall shortly after menarche, peaks between the ages of 20 and 29, and then declines until it totally ends during menopause. The best ages for a successful pregnancy are when you're in your prime reproductive years. There is a larger risk of unfavorable pregnancy outcomes at either end of the reproductive range, that is, at the youngest (under 20) and the oldest (40 and above) ages. According to studies, women between the ages of 35 and 45 are more likely than younger women between the ages of 20 and 29 to have gestational diabetes, placenta pre-via, breech presentation, and surgical vaginal delivery. Other substantial non-health dangers associated with teenage pregnancy are unique to this period of life. There are two types of teen pregnancy, and both can happen in the same country, developed or developing. Premarital intercourse and unintentional pregnancy can also contribute to high teenage pregnancy rates. Early childbearing is becoming increasingly a result of early intercourse, according to research. In metropolitan regions, this is more common than in rural areas.
Interpretation and analysis
According to the WHO, around 16 million adolescent girls aged 15-19 give birth each year, accounting for roughly 11% of all births worldwide. Almost all of these births take place in impoverished countries. For the years 2000-2005, the global adolescent fertility rate was projected to be 55.3 per thousand, implying that roughly 5.5 percent of adolescents gave birth each year. According to the National Statistics Office's latest Vital Statistics Report, 1,784,316 births were registered in the Philippines in 2008, with 10.4 percent (186,527 births) occurring to mothers under the age of 20. In 2008, total registered births climbed by 2% from 1,749,878 the previous year, while births to teenage mothers increased by 7.6% from 173,282 the previous year. Given the same amount of underreporting for teenage births as for total births, a comparison of the percent rise in total births and births to teenage mothers implies that fertility increases more rapidly in the youngest reproductive years. The findings show a gradient of difference by socioeconomic position that is similar to that seen with educational attainment, which is to be expected given how closely these two variables are associated, i.e., those with the least education will tend to be among the poorest. Women in the poorest are most likely to have children young. When comparing the data from 2003 and 2008, it shows that the prevalence of early childbearing did not alter significantly for women, despite the fact that it was already at a high level.
Conclusions and recommendations
Overall, the findings in this paper corroborate that more teenagers are becoming pregnant now than in previous cohorts. Teenage pregnancy exposes both mother and child to many health and other risks, and more research is needed to determine how to mitigate or reverse the trend. The following factors should be considered before any intervention:
- To further understand the particular health hazards in the Philippines, hospital-based prospective and retrospective studies are needed to investigate the negative effects of early pregnancy and childbirth on the mother and her baby when compared to other age groups.
- While early childbirth has increased among the non-poor, the better-educated, and city dwellers, teen pregnancy remains unacceptably common among the poor, those with less education, and rural dwellers. Interventions aimed at reversing the trend should be specific to the conditions that lead to early pregnancy in these populations.
- Teenage pregnancy is highest among those with the least education, notably those with elementary or below educational attainment, hence the timing of school-based treatments such as sexuality education should take this into account. Thus, before teenagers leave school, age-appropriate sexuality education should begin in the pre-adolescent years. Because there is such a significant unmet need for contraception among currently cohabiting or married youth, they require special services and family planning programs
